Eva is nearly 2 1/2 and is a long-hair full-coat registered GSD from German and Czech working lines.

I am looking at the two photos you've posted of Eva's dam and sire, and then back at your statement that she is from German and Czech working lines, and I am having a very hard time putting the two together. The dogs pictured don't look anything like working lines, German or Czech.
Working line dogs are supposed to meet the breed standard just like show line dogs are supposed to meet the breed standard. Many show line dogs fall short in terms of working ability and temperament, and many working line dogs fall ... well, not short ... but outside the standard due to being over the height standard (though generally by two or three inches).

But then again, look what the American showlines have done to dogs and still suits the breed standard.

Those dogs don't meet the breed standard, either. The standard is pretty clear in what the dog should be like, what the gait and angulation should be like. It's more like "popular trends in defying the standard" than meeting the standard.
